Investigations are continuing as to which shop would sell this lavender smelling talcum powder to old folks continuously..

What a massive over reaction to something that was clearly talc powder. What target flies Virgin Blue?

Who says it was talc?

Maybe someone was off to the loo to hit up and and the plane struck some turbulence and they spilt their load?:shock:

I always giggle when they show the warning at the beginning of Border Security : Warning - This program may contain drug references. THAT'S 90% OF THE SHOW!!
